Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

If you zoom out just a bit, this drop took it back to where it was at the start of trading yesterday. The stock has been surging since 10/10.
Damn. You're right. This isn't the crash it's been made out to be.
The stock price whipsawed during an extremely volatile trading session in which more than 97 million shares traded hands — multiple times the company’s 30-day average trading volume.
Does Trump have to disclose if he is dumping his shares? That many shares trading hands makes me wonder if he is trying to cash out before the stock starts to tank again.
Good luck getting old man diaper rash to do anything he has to do.
I have to wonder if this has anything to do with that bizarre (even for Trump) rally in Pennsylvania.
That's my bet. People have, for years, tried to act smart, say, "He's always been an idiot!" Nah. Below average intelligence? Sure. But he really turned a corner in 2021-22 or so and now the roller coaster is off to the races.
He's come with 9,000 stupid, mystifying, illogical, evil even, statements. But yesterday was something I've never seen before. You and I would be headed for a rest home if we acted like that. Put that in the bucket with the last 2-years of lunacy, we would be living with a full-time caretaker if we were rich.
People like us that are watching and politically engaged have been noting the slide, but that performance yesterday was on display for a long time, not merely a sound bite a supporter can weasel around.
In some ways, you could consider it a small blessing that Trump has been forced to spend the last decade of his life frantically (metaphorically) running from shadow to shadow trying to avoid the law and keep his hold onto fascist power.
Like, he could have spent the last 30 years relaxing at Maralago paying pornstars for sex but he just couldn’t keep his fucking mouth shut.
Every time Trump loses, America wins.
Trading halt? The dumb company is up over 100% in less than a month. I can't imagine why it dropped 10%. Let it tank already.
Trading halts are done automatically by the exchanges anytime any stock falls by a certain amount within a certain time frame. It’s meant to interrupt automatic, algorithmic high frequency trading from a runaway out of control feedback loop - think of it like muting the microphone when the speakers start making that high pitched feedback screech. Give it time. If there’s any justice left in the world it will be a penny stock by the new year.
Glad to see this. I'd been watching it go up day by day for more than a week. I was disappointed to see it up again this morning. I hope it crumbles to zero.
